Mango will work in the Office of the Administrator as the chief principal deputy administrator and chief of staff.

Agency Administrator Seema Verma, who has known Mango for a decade, and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar praised Mango as highly qualified and experienced in the health care sector.

“President Trump promised the American people a government that works for them with the efficiency of a successful business. Bringing highly qualified healthcare experts on board like Paul Mango will help deliver on that vision,” Azar said in a statement.
